Got the chance to play peninsula marsh and lakes 2 years ago and played lakes and Cypress this year.

It was another awesome experience. I gave it 4 stars only because I reserve 5 stars for premier bucket list, historic type courses. Still, peninsula is an all around great golf experience. The twilight and week long deals are rough to beat.

Course conditions are always outstanding with smooth , fast greens. Pro shop is full of swag and the staff is extremely friendly. Good bar and restaurant as well.

If you are looking for a great round of golf convenient to the beach, this is the place to go.

In a week full of Pinehurst and Southern Pines Courses, this one was one of my favorite. It is truly a championship course offering plenty of distance, variety and difficulty for any player.
We played the week after USGA Womens Sr Open and the conditions were pristine. Greens were perfect and fast The lodge is also very cool and has a well appointed Pro Shop and great bar for after round drinks.

This is a can't miss course in the area.

What can be said that hasn't already been said about Ross' finest work of art in #2? I can tell you this much, no picture or video or painting can do it justice if you haven't seen it for yourself. It is like stepping back in time and playing something that is out of a golf course design museum.

Conditions were a perfect 10 and as one caddie said, it is US Open ready right now. So much has been said about the greens and rightfully so, they are unlike anything you have ever seen. When you miss and you will miss(or not hold) a green, your chip shot will be hit with no perspective for distance, It will inevitably be up hill without sight of the hole and off a tight lie. It is something to behold.

Tee to green is fair but the fairways are on the tighter side and a miss will be left to fate in the copious amounts of sand and wire grass where you will undoubtedly find your ball but be praying for a good lie while looking.

This is a course that demands precision and short games will be exposed. Still no matter the score, the more you reflect on it, the more you will love it. It is an experience akin to the Old Course, Muirfield, Pebble, etc. It is a must -do and one you will want to do again. No trip to Pinehurst is complete without a visit here.

After your round, you will sit on the veranda, cocktail in hand and watch this beauty as the sun sets and the pines cast their shadows across the landscape. You will reflect on shots made and missed, then yearn to walk it again,

Expected much more from this course as a first time playing. Pro shop is very nice with good merch selection, and looked like a nice restaurant but cannot comment on the food.

I was shocked when I checked in to see that the green fee was $175 dollars. Includes cart but there is no on site range. The layout was average with very few memorable holes. Conditions were average but far better than the neighboring Contraband bayou. Greens rolled fine but were a touch slow.
Cart girls were very nice and well stocked.

I could see paying $70-80 dollars on a weekend to play this course but $175 puts you in the upper tier of green fees and having played many championship courses, this one does not belong in that category. I would not travel to play this course again. Course staff were very pleasant and this review does not reflect the people that work there in any way.

A golf buddy of mine and myself drove about 2 hours to play here at the neighboring course of Golden Nugget over a Friday Saturday. We were extremely disappointed in this course. The staff was very friendly but the course was below average. The layout was just OK for a Fazio design but the course conditions were just a notch above terrible especially for a green fee over $100. There is no on site restaurant or bar except for the nearby casino. There is plenty of merch in the Pro shop.

Range was closed, Tees and fairways were full of weeds and the greens were slow and grainy with recent top dressing. Even with perfect conditions, I would not pay more than $60-70 dollars for peak green fee and even then, the design is lackluster enough, I would not want to play here again.

The casino itself, restaurants and amenities are very nice. They need to put more money in tho their golf course.

First time playing this course after living in the area a couple of years and it was a blast. We played from tips and the layout is really challenging but fun and pleasing to the eye. There is plenty of hole to hole variability and course conditions were really good. The greens still have a little but to go but were overall fine. The iced mango towels every 4-5 holes were great for a hot day as was the daquiri at the turn! A great play and I look forward to coming back again soon.

Oak Wing Golf Club is always a good experience with a fun, challenging layout of holes. It also winds through the old England Air Base with views of the current Alexandria Airport. Conditions are always good and the staff is very friendly. My favorite holes are the two Par 5's on the back 14 and 16. 14 has a links feel to it and 16 is a good layout of a par 5. Definitely worth a visit if in the Alexandri area.
